Indian Spiced Omelette
Nov. 6th, 2020 10:58 amI'm getting very into having eggy spicy things for breakfast, it seems!
I've deliberately not called this a masala omelette, because that would be seriously stretching the truth. It is an omelette, however, and it involves Indian spices. What I've done from there is probably heretical.
Indian Spiced Omelette (serves one)
Finely slice half a white onion and a small green chilli. Grate a small handful of cheddar (optional).
Add a splash of oil to a small shallow frying pan (I used groundnut oil today because it was what I had to hand). Fry the onions until soft, then add the chopped chilli. Meanwhile, crack a couple of eggs into a jug and whisk together, together with 1/2 tsp curry powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Tip the egg mixture into the pan and fry gently until the bottom has set and the top is wobbly rather than runny. Add the cheese, if using. Fold the omelette in half and cook for another minute or so, then tip onto a plate and serve. (I had it with ketchup.)
